Went for the first time after a 15 test break and got just what I remember. Affordable for what you get, just remember, order less than you think you need, if you're still hungry, order moreChances are you won't be! Truly a Portland classic. View all feedback.

BEST sushi in Portland! The rolls are huge and delicious. If you get takeout, make sure to order at 2pm, when the ordering system opens, especially on weekends!...
